Agent Gateway¶
A unified gateway for selecting the right LLM model and securely accessing the right tools and agents across your enterprise.
Why It Matters for Enterprises¶
- Model compliance and governance - Customers have clearance to only use specific approved models
- Fine-tuned model support - Customers have a need to use their fine-tuned models for agents
- Centralized control - Manage all model access, policies, and telemetry from one place
- Seamless integration - Connect to multiple providers without rewriting applications
- ContextForge Federates MCP servers, A2A agents, and REST APIs into one governed endpoint
Supported LLM Providers¶
The AI Gateway provides unified access to multiple foundation model providers:
Enterprise Platforms: - IBM watsonx.ai - AWS Bedrock - Azure OpenAI
Leading AI Providers: - OpenAI - Anthropic - Google (Gemini)
Open Source & Specialized: - Mistral - Ollama
Key Features & Capabilities¶
Model Gateway¶
- Unified API & orchestration layer for multiple foundation models
- Seamless model switching, routing, and failover without rewriting applications
- Select the model of choice based on use case requirements
- Configure models with parameters, model policies, and custom settings
Enterprise Controls¶
- Enforce approved models and tools across the organization
- Central telemetry and observability for all AI traffic
- Consistent governance across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments
- Policy enforcement for security, compliance, and cost management
Advanced Capabilities¶
- Unified credential storage - Secure management of API keys and tokens
- Load balancing - Distribute requests across multiple model instances
- Failover and retries - Automatic fallback to alternative models
- Custom API settings - Fine-tune request parameters per model
- Usage tracking - Monitor consumption, costs, and performance metrics
Legacy Modernization¶
- Virtualize existing REST/gRPC services as MCP tools
- No need to rewrite agents - Integrate legacy systems seamlessly
- Gradual migration path from traditional APIs to modern AI workflows
ContextForge¶
- Federation Single catalog/entry point across multiple MCP and REST services
- REST-to-MCP Adapter: Virtualize REST APIs as MCP-compliant tools
- gRPC Translation: Reflection-based discovery and translation to MCP
- Multi-Transport HTTP, JSON-RPC, WebSocket, SSE, stdio, streamable-HTTP
- Built-in Security Auth, rate limiting, retries, OAuth token support
How It Works¶
- Select the model - Choose the most suitable model for your agent or use case
- Configure policies - Set parameters, rate limits, and governance rules
- Route requests - AI Gateway handles routing, authentication, and failover
- Monitor and optimize - Track usage, performance, and costs through central telemetry
Use Cases¶
Model Compliance & Governance¶
- Approved model enforcement - Ensure only certified models are used in production
- Audit and compliance - Track which models are used for which purposes
- Regional restrictions - Route to compliant models based on data residency requirements
Fine-Tuned Model Deployment¶
- Custom model integration - Deploy and manage organization-specific fine-tuned models
- A/B testing - Compare performance between base and fine-tuned models
- Gradual rollout - Route percentage of traffic to new model versions
Multi-Provider Model Management¶
- Cost optimization - Route to most cost-effective model for each task
- Performance optimization - Select fastest or most accurate model per use case
- Vendor diversification - Avoid lock-in by supporting multiple providers
Legacy System Integration¶
- API modernization - Expose legacy systems as AI-accessible tools
- Hybrid workflows - Combine traditional APIs with modern AI agents
- Incremental transformation - Modernize systems without full rewrites
